A question for the oldies (and no, I don't know the answer).

Reasons for RH running are well known for White City (Cent) and Kings Cross- Euston (Vic), but why RH on the Northern between Borough and Bank, and around Kentish Town?

And are there any other places?

As is well known the tube lines follow the road to avoid the payment of wayleaves and possible claims in the event of subsidence in the property above.

In order to ease the radius of the curves they swap sides in various places hence the apparent wrong road running.
